Q

whats a pattern usually seen microscopically in cardiac muscle

A

-branched cells
-intercalated discs (thick and spaced out)
-less obvious striations (thin and populated)

19
Q

location of smooth muscle

A

digestive tract, blood vessels, uterus

20
Q

function of smooth muscle

A

involuntary sustained contractions, propulsion of food, delivery of infants

21
Q

whats the shape of smooth muscle cells

A

small and slender with no striations

22
Q

what does a typical neuron/glial cell look like

A

neuron: large and star shaped cells with branching
glial: small cells present around neurons in nervous tissue

23
Q

where do you find neurons/nervous tissue

A

brain and spinal chord, nerves

24
Q

function of nervous tissue

A

neurons transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors
glial cells support and protect neurons

25
Q

location of dense regular connective tissue

A

tendons and ligaments

26
Q

function of dense regular connective tissue

A

binds bones together or connects muscle to bone

27
Q

location of dense irregular connective tissue

A

dermis, sheaths around cartilage and bone

28
Q

function of dense irregular connective tissue

A

structural strength and resists against stress tearing

29
Q

location of reticular tissue

A

spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and liver

30
Q

function of reticular tissue

A

internal skeleton for your soft organs

31
Q

location of areolar tissue

A

deep to the dermis and surrounding many internal organs

32
Q

function of areolar tissue

A

binds epithelia to lower layers, insulates organs from infection

33
Q

location of adipose tissue

A

under the skin, breast tissue, outside of the heart and kidneys

34
Q

function of adipose tissue

A

energy storage and physical protection

35
Q

location of hyaline cartilage

A

ends of long bones, ribs, larynx and trachea

36
Q

function of hyaline cartilage

A

forms most of fetal skeleton, reduces frictions at joints, keeps air passages open

37
Q

location of fibrocartilage

A

intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis

38
Q

function of fibrocartilage

A

resists compression, reduce wear and tear

39
Q

location of elastic cartilage

A

external ear and epiglottis

40
Q

function of elastic cartilage

A

provides flexible framework

41
Q

location of compact bone

A

skeleton

42
Q

function of compact bone

A

protection of soft organs, locomotion along with muscles, support

43
Q

location of spongy bone

A

ends of long bones surrounded by compact bone, inside vertebrae , ribs, skull

44
Q

function of spongy bone

A

storage of bone marrow, site of erythropoiesis, reduces weight of skeleton, mineral storage

45
Q

location of blood

A

heart and blood vessels

46
Q

function of blood

A

transports respiratory gasses, nutrients, hormones, water through the body, immunity
